• What Size Bolts are Used to Install Draw-Tite # 75547 on a Honda CR-V
  The Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 75547, uses 4 hex bolts that are M10 X 1.25 X 30. However, you shouldn't tap the threads uness you absolutely have to as a last resort. I highly recommend cleaning them before tapping them. I've linked an article and a video that shows this process for you. I've included a link to a video of the installation for you as well.

• Will Hitch From 2011 Honda CR-V fit 2016 Model
  For your 2016 Honda CR-V, I'd recommend the # Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75742. For a trailer wiring harness, if needed, use the Tow Ready # 118561. Unfortunately, the 2011 model was the last year of the 3rd generation of the CR-V models, and your 2016 model is of the 4th generation. There are enough significant differences in the rear undercarriage of the 3rd and 4th generations that your Hidden Hitch from your 2011 model won't work on your 2016, I'm sorry to say.

• Towing Capacity and Recommended Towing Components for 2010 Honda CR-V
  I checked your owners manual online and your CR-V is rated to pull 1500 lbs max as you stated. I wouldn't hesitated to pull a 1200 or 1350 lb pop-up camper but you do need to make sure it has brakes. You will need a hitch, ball mount, wiring harness, and a brake controller. I recommend the following for your 2010 Honda CR-V: -Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13555 -T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118427 -7-Way RV Upgrade...

• Trailer Hitch Weight for a 2011 Honda CR-V
  I'd be happy to help! All of the hitches for your 2011 Honda CR-V weigh relatively the same when it comes to the different classes, and while the Class I hitches definitely weight lighter I recommend using a Class III hitch since they have a 2" receiver and can handle a wider variety of accessories. Out of the hitches listed below I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75547 since it's a Class III hitch with a weight of about 27 lbs. Here are the rest of the hitches: Class I Draw-Tite -...

  I have attached the installation instructions of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7291 for a 2008 Honda CR-V to this answer page for you.

Please note, you do need to trim the rear bumper fascia for installation but this is because of the hidden design. If you don't want to trim then I recommend the Draw-Tite...

• Troubleshooting Hitch Install Bolts Not Threading Into Frame Rail Weld Nut
  We get this question quite a bit and the issue is really that the threads end up with quite a bit of corrosion and dirt which prevents the bolt from threading in. I attached a couple help articles that cover cleaning out weld nuts for you to check out but typically using a thread tap will get the threads cleaned. The size bolts are M10X1.25X30 CL8.8.

• Best Hitch for a 2011 Honda CR-V
  I pulled the manual for your 2011 Honda CRV. It says your vehicle tops out at 1,500 lbs for towing capacity so paying extra for a 4,500 lbs capacity hitch like item # 75547 doesn't make sense. Adding this high of a capacity hitch won't give you anymore than the 1,500 lbs your CRV is rated for. The best hitch for both value and ability is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e39AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2011 Honda CR-V with included hardware. This is our house brand...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Carrier With Ramp for 2009 Honda CR-V
  According to your owner's manual your 2009 Honda CR-V can hold up to 850 lbs of passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight. The trailer tongue weight is the same as the cargo carrier and lift. The strongest hitch we carry for your vehicle is the Draw-Tite # 75547 which is my recommendation for your application. This hitch by itself is rated for a maximum weight of 675 lbs tongue weight. If you will be carrying the power chair on the interior of the vehicle we don't have a carrier...

• Class II or Class III for 2010 Subaru Legacy Ground Clearance
  Honestly, going with a 1-1/4 inch hitch is only going to gain you 3/4 of an inch of increased ground clearance which is pretty minimal, I'd recommend going with the more versatile Class III hitch. If you're concerned about the bottom of the hitch receiver hitting the pavement, you could use a skid wheel like # UF48-979020 which mounts to a 2 inch receiver, and will work whether or not you have an accessory mounted in the hitch. I'd recommend going with the Curt Class III hitch, part #...

• Difference Between Square and Round Tube Trailer Hitches for 2010 Honda CR-V
  There are both Class I and Class III trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2010 Honda CR-V. The available Class I hitches, such as the Draw-Tite Sport Frame # 24792, feature a square tube design, while the Class III hitches like the Draw-Tite # 75547 have a round crosstube. This crosstube shape may appear to indicate the hitch's strength, as they differ between the two classes, but the design is typically only relevant to the physical appearance of the hitch. A round...

• Recommended The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For My 2008 Honda CR-V
  The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 75547, will still be my recommendation. It has a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs and a maximum gross tongue weight of 4,500 lbs, which is greater than the other compatible trailer hitch receivers. It weigs 32.8 lbs. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 306-X7291, you reference in your question is actually the heavier of the two trailer hitches. It weighs 36 lbs. I...

• Bike Carrying Options for 2011 Honda CR-V
  For exactly the reason you stated, Thule states that none of their trunk mounted racks will work with your 2011 Honda CR-V. Yakima states a few of their trunk-mount racks will fit. Occasionally, we will have one manufacturer state that the vehicle is compatible with a trunk mount rack, and the other will say that it is not. In that case, I typically do not recommend using a trunk mount. Installing a hitch and using a hitch-mounted bike rack would be your best bet. If you were only wanting...

• How Much Cargo Weight Can 2009 Honda CR-V Carry in Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier
  You are correct that your 2009 Honda CR-V has a tongue weight capacity of 150 lbs regardless of what hitch you install on it. So if you install a Class III hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75547 and then install a folding cargo carrier in it like the Curt # C18151 you'd need to subtract the weight of the carrier from the tongue weight capacity to determine how much you could carry in the carrier. This carrier weighs 70 lbs so you'd have 80 lbs left over for cargo. I attached a review video...

• Can Less Torque Be Used On Draw-Tite Hitch for 2011 Honda CR-V With Rusted Weld Nuts
  I do recommend torqueing the bolts for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75547 on a 2011 Honda CR-V to spec. In regards to the condition of the weld nuts, the only thing you can do is tap them to clear out the rust so you can then thread the bolt in. If the bolts do not torque or the weld nuts break then you will have no other choice but to drill them out and replace them with carriage bolts and spacer blocks. There is also the option to tap the weld nuts to the next...

• What is Most Concealed Trailer Hitch that Fits 2009 Nissan Murano
  The difference is just the look. Some prefer the look of a square and some a round tube hitch. Both can look more or less visible depending on the application. Some vehicles with more round body panels will look better with a round tube, but a truck with a square bumper looks better with a square hitch. Really depends on what you think looks best. For your 2009 Nissan Murano we have two round tube hitches, one from Curt # 13577 and one from etrailer # e65AR, with the etrailer model #...

• Maximum Towing Capacity for a 2011 Honda CRV
  I would certainly view the owners manual on the 2011 Honda CR-V to ensure the correct towing capacity. I wouldn't recommend towing a 16 foot Casita travel trailer weighing 2100-2385 pounds if the capacity turns out to be 1500 pounds which is what it is for United States spec models. The trailer hitch class I, II and III, IV and V will not increase the towing capacity but it will also depend on the vehicle towing capacity. Whichever is lower, the hitch or vehicle capacity, is what you would...

• Why are There Two Different Size Holes on the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch for 2009 Honda CR-V
  The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75547, that you have on your 2009 Honda CR-V will use the 5/8 inch hole to secure hitch mounted accessories or ball mounts to the trailer hitch. The smaller hole is not used at all. If you have a hitch mounted accessory with a 1/2 inch hole, then it is probably intended to be used with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver, rather than a 2 inch receiver. If this is the case, then you could use a Hitch Reducer, # HT02, to use that accessory with...

• Towing Capacity for 2007 Honda CR-V
  I looked up the towing capacity for your 2007 Honda CR-V and it looks to be 1,500 lbs as the max capacity for the vehicle. I'm not sure if your trailer would weigh less than that but we do have everything you'd need to tow a trailer with your vehicle. For a hitch the Draw Tite # 75547 would be a great option. It has a 2 inch hitch opening and installs easily. See install video. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the T-One kit part # 118427 which is also a confirmed fit. This is our most...

• Can a 2007 Honda CR-V Tow a 15 Foot Bass Boat Trailer
  A weight distribution system is a device that is installed on a trailer and uses leverage to transfer the weight of the load across the entire towing setup. It's in addition to a trailer hitch and is optional for towing, although sometimes highly recommended. The trailer hitch receivers designed for your 2007 Honda CR-V are not rated with a weight distribution system, therefore you don't have the option of using one. But you can still tow a trailer. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75547...

  For your 2009 Honda CR-V we have the Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 75547 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. It's a Class III, 2 inch hitch made by the same company as Reese. Install of this hitch is pretty simple if you have basic tools and mechanical skills. I attached an install video for this hitch on a 2009 CR-V just like yours for you to check out.
